GAS6

growth arrest-specific protein 6(English)

  • belongs structurally to the family of plasma vitamin K-dependent proteins, and has a high structural homology with the natural anticoagulant protein S, sharing the same modular composition and having 40% sequence identity. The low concentration in plasma and the pattern of tissue expression suggest a distinct function among vitamin-K dependent proteins. It has growth factor-like properties through its interaction with receptor tyrosine kinases of the TAM family
